Optical Transceivers

Consistent, Standardized, and Purpose-Built For Compatibility.

ProLabs offers an extensive range of compatible fiber optic and copper transceivers, ranging from 100BASE-FX to 100Gb and cover optical and copper transceivers such as GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP+, CFP and QSFP28. All transceivers are standards-based and comply with the MSA (Multi-Source Agreement).

Direct Attach Cables (DACs) & Active Optical Cables (AOCs)

Simple to Install, Cost-Effective, and Interoperable.

Direct Attach Cables (DACs) and Active Optical Cables (AOCs) are often used for data center short reach interconnects. They are terminated with transceiver-style ends to be used in the same ports where optical transceivers can be used. Protocol independent, they can support a variety of data rates including Ethernet, Infiniband and Fiber channel.

Media Converters

Maximize Network Capabilities at a Low Cost.

ProLabs offers a full range of media converters, a true multi-rate device, supporting 10/100/1000Base, 10Gb copper, and 100/1000Base (dependent on SFP) and 10Gb SFP+ fiber.

Multi-coded Optical Transceivers

Enable Borderless Network Connectivity.

Gain huge cost savings and inventory efficiency by coding multiple OEM vendors onto one single transceiver, DACs, or AOC, giving you huge cost savings and inventory benefits.
